Croatia, Croatia

Thrill quest

Exploring the rich tapestry of local history for history enthusiasts or venturing into the unknown realms of adventure for adrenaline seekers, this comprehensive guide offers an unparalleled journey through the labyrinthine corridors of darkness, meticulously detailing every twist and turn within these forgotten passageways.



The tour commences with a visit to an iconic aircraft - the Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota. This remarkable artifact invites guests to experience its unique presence as an open-winged marvel. Visitors have the privilege of climbing aboard and exploring the interior of the historic flight machine.

Following the initial exploration, we transition to the runway area, where we embark on a cautious journey along the extensive runways. Our objective is to replicate and visualize the exhilarating sensation experienced by pilots during their takeoffs.

As we traverse the runways, we gradually gain insights into the panoramic view of a plane-shaped depression emerging from the hillside. Upon reaching the tunnel entrance, we stand before a focal point of the tour.

Upon inspecting the flashlights, we gather essential information about the subject matter and adhere to the necessary safety guidelines. Our 3-kilometer trek through the darkened tunnels delves deep into the historical context of the site, encompassing aspects such as construction phases, operational timelines, and the aftermath of the facility's dismantling. Personal anecdotes and interactions among employees are also explored, revealing tales of camaraderie, conflict, and shared experiences.

Our final destination returns us to the aircraft, concluding our immersive journey through time and space.
